Cardin, who resembles the paint can Dutch Boy, tried hard to be winsome as Tolen's bashful "student", and McGunigle tried hard to be impish. Much of the time they just tried...
...think tank in Manhattan's Plaza Hotel were anything but ordinary.

Yves St. Laurent announced last week that he will shortly open a men's boutique in Paris; André Courrèges is also planning a line of men's clothes. To go with wives' "Lilly" summer shifts, Palm Beach Designer Lilly Pulitzer is offering a new collection of "Men's Stuff" that includes flamboyantly printed "P.J.s" (Pulitzer Jeans) and Cuban-style quayabera shirts, worn with the squared-off tails outside.
